Anderson can better, afford to take the
TEACHER than any other set Of teachers,
for our kind Commissioner gives us iues-

more for our County paper nov than
when it hsdsno column devoted to- our
special interest. Indeed, our patronage

It is duty we owe to ourselves, our
patfona;and cour pupils. If il! fails for

dishonor to us, and fatal stroke to the
advancement of our common schools.
